It’s out! Andrew starts as Flamengo name side to face Cusco | OneFootball

Flamengo and Cusco (PER) face each other this Tuesday (26) at the Maracanã

For Flamengo, the overall top spot in the Libertadores is at stake. Cusco (PER), meanwhile, are just playing out the schedule in this Tuesday’s (26) match at the Maracanã, in the sixth round of Group A of the continental tournament. Kickoff is at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), and coach Leonardo Jardim has named the team as follows.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S LINEUP?

Starters: Andrew, Emerson Royal, Danilo, Vitão and Ayrton Lucas; Evertton Araújo, Saúl and De La Cruz; Plata, Luiz Araújo and Bruno Henrique

Substitutes: Rossi, Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro, Erick Pulgar, Lucas Paquetá, Carrascal, Cebolinha, Lino, Pedro and Wallace Yan

Criticized because of his sending-off against Palmeiras last Saturday (23), Jorge Carrascal starts the match on the bench. The same goes for Everton Cebolinha, who has recovered from hip pain and is back in the squad named by coach Leonardo Jardim.

On the other hand, the coach will be without Arrascaeta, who is in Uruguay in the final stage of recovery from a fractured collarbone. In addition, Jorginho became unavailable after the Palmeiras match, when he fractured a toe. The midfielder is racing against time to be available on Saturday (30) against Coritiba.

Cusco, meanwhile, arrive at the Maracanã with nothing to play for. With just one point from five matches, the Peruvians have no chance even of finishing third, which would earn them a place in the Copa Sudamericana. In other words, the clash is little more than a friendly for the visiting side.
